Retired, but I stay busy. Drive my Vette, chase fish on the Great Lakes and elsewhere. I sit on a bunch of Advisory committees about the Great Lakes on both the State and Federal level. Have done some lobbying at both the State and Federal level about issues related to the Great Lakes fishery, including Asian Carp and Sea Lamprey and other invasive species. Was an elected official in local government for a number of years.

That is one very complex issue. I have been studying it for over 20 years and just now am getting an understanding of it. Short answer is no they are not, but…yes they could be if we are not damn careful. And that “we” is complicated by treaties made over 150 years ago. Fishing is still damn good, but it takes a lot of work by a lot of people to keep it that way.
